To light a fire you need all elements of heat, oxygen and fuel

My advice to people who are working on this for a long time with no results, take a look at yourself in the mirror, do you see tangible difference in your body over time? do you see the structure of hips changing, do you feel your PF has changed over time that you can see by eyes? have you improved your hip mobility?
If not, then your training doesn't worth a penny and you need to learn how to train your body by studying the principles.

It needs tangible difference in your body, that you can see it with your eyes.

Thanks Anthony_gerio for all your insights, I can feel that what you are saying is related to people like me who have been working on it for some time but with no results... i have finally found a kinesitherapeute who specialises in PreP and ED and even though i understand the logic and have done my research, i still think i need someone that can correct the way i'm training and also pinpoint what i have to train directly. Thanks ;-)

Thanks anthony.

Do you think muscle balancing cure Pre E? Or muscle balancing and RK cure Pre E?

I read this thread through and figured I had Glute amnesia judging by testing bridge pose and some other position i kind of blanked out of

First of all Im doing every day a thing called Reverse hyperextentions
You lie on a bed on your belly and then with straight legs which are not on the bed you try to lift them up
What i felt is that it engaged the Glute from the very beginning
Other thing i added after a week of those is Horse Stance
You stand in almost a squat BUT you keep you hips forward
By keeping your hips forward you will feel the glute starting to fire up and I actually done 10 min horse stance before and before my week of training of reviving the glutes I never felt them work so hard in the Horse Stance before
I also felt my pelvic really working as well ehile in the horse stance so maybe I unlocked some muscle coordination that wasnt there before
Great threat great subject
Ty Anthony!

Hi Anthony. I have accidentally stumble upon into at least 4 different post of you talking about TVA.

I have had so many unsuccessful sex with tons of abs workout. But I want to give it a tryi 1 more time. Can you tell me what is your best TVA workout? I can find this information from youtube but im more interested in your way of doing TVA workout. Thanks.

It is embracing the core, and do not letting the lower abdomen to goes up when breathing during the ab workout and keeping the lower back stuck to the ground while doing on the ground workouts.

I prefer bottom up movements and hollow holds for TVA specifically. Also a few sets of stomach vacuum (the true version is done by TVA not by pulling in your 6 packs or also named rectus abs). However, planks are good as well. More important it is something that through out the day should be active. The muscle is designed to be activated at all times. Even when you doing a squat or etc.

Do you mind elaborating on “bottom up” movement? Like leg lifts?

Yes, different variations.

Common things:

- Tight glute Medius, tight flexors, weak adductors, weak glute Max ---> very common and even in athletes ----> PreE
- Weak glute Medius, weak glute Max, tight flexors ----> very common but not an athletics body ----> PreE as well as ED
- Weak glute Medius, tight adductors, weak glute Max, tight Flexors ---> common ----> ED ----> PreE
- Weak glute Medius, Powerful and normal functioning glute Max, loose flexors, powerful adductors -----> Delayed ejac

Maybe you have a thought on this Anthony:

I have APT quite bad. I've been working on strengthening my hamstrings/glutes/abs (for a year+), and stretching my hip flexors. But something I noticed -- my hamstrings seem *tight*. This is contrary to what should cause APT. I know with APT people mistake their hamstrings as tight, and start stretching them, when they're actually just weak, but if I sit in the floor with my legs straight out in front of me, I can't sit up at a 90 degree angle. Not even close, let alone lean *forward* as some can. And I feel a stretch in my hamstrings when I have my legs straight like that. It sure seems like it's tight hammies. Any idea? Maybe they are really tight but my hip flexors are just even tighter?

How did you conclude you have APT? what are the symptoms? Did you get the diagnosis from a physio?
